When the gel was taken, the monomer conversion was about 80 mol%. It was allowed to react for about 10 minutes in a kneader. The gel was finely divided and was barely sticky.
- Span® 20 Sorbitan monolaurate
- Example 2 The procedure was as in Example 1, but the gel was allowed to polymerize completely in the additionally thermally insulated plastic bag outside, wherein the peak temperature in the middle of the reaction mass was about 100 0 C, and the gel was not until about 60 minutes after reaching the peak temperature and emptied at the beginning of cooling in the meat grinder and crushed. When the gel was taken, the monomer conversion was more than 98 mol%. The minced gel was then immediately dried, ground and sieved as described in Example 1. The polymer was in shear damage resulting in higher extractable polymer levels of the base polymer and lower AUL 0.7 psi of the postcrosslinked polymer.
